For Week 2, Silvia’s presentation is rescheduled for the first part of the class.

Due this Friday:

We’ll also be discussing the second article by Veronique Vienne entitled The Spectacle: A Reevaulation of the Situationist Thesis. Please respond to the article: write a response with your opinion of the ideas expressed by the authors. Response should have 3 parts: agreement, disagreement, and your additional thoughts. Your response should be a minimum of 1,000 words; printed and read to hand in. Be prepared to discuss your findings.

Choose the designer you’ll be focusing on for your report on a Graphic Designer and create a rough draft of the copy you’ll incorporate into the design. (Text only/not designed; printed on 8.5x11” page).

Finally, we’ll have a short discussion about Project C and Things We Collect.

Just as a reminder, here are the details that should be included in your Report on a Graphic Designer:
